Delicious. Reminds me of my childhood, when nobody had heard of hummus but we were mixing white beans into a creamy paste and a sauce made of fried onion, garlic and tomato paste. We’d toast bread, rub it with garlic and add the bean paste and a generous serving of the topping!

Hey I wanted to know about a substitute for balsamic vinegar as I can't really afford it right now but want to try out this mouth watering dip 🥺

PUL Team - Nov. 1, 2022, 6:08 a.m.

Hey Sharmita! Balsamic vinegar helps to add flavour and depth to the dip. You could omit it, or experiment with an alternative vinegar with sugar to taste. For example, red wine vinegar with some syrup often works well 🙂

I saute mybonions with portobello mushrooms and added that into the mix. It was phenomenal. Waiting 2 hours before consuming is key.

Ooo thanks for the tip, V, it means so much 😃

Just had this on some Swedish crisp bread and the combo is delicious! This is a creamy dip with depth and umami and it works really well with something crispy.

Mmm sounds lovely, Jonna, we're so happy the dip was enjoyed 🤗

This tasted great! Put it in a veggie wrap. I love to include beans whenever I can, and this was a refreshing change- white beans are so mild it didn't feel bean-forward at all. Just yummy flavors of sundried tomato (ok may have put extra of those). Thx!

Thanks for taking the time to share, Angie, so thrilled you're enjoying the white bean dip 😃

I love the tanginess of the lemon and vinegar and the freshness of the chives in this one, it's addictive!

I liked the hummuses best, but this was a welcome alternative!

PUL Team - June 6, 2021, 12:06 a.m.

So glad to hear, Cris, it's always fun to change it up occasionally!
